Not even out of the gate and I just received an email saying our Saturday Joint Security Area (DMZ border with the North) tour has been cancelled. The issue has something to do with African Swine Fever. These tours, run by a few contractors for the US Army, are rather tightly controlled and filled with …
It’s Tuesday. Hard to wrap ones head around the idea that our next terra firma sunset opportunity will be Friday. Getting incredibly excited about #Asia2019. Hele on!
This one has been on the books for a few years. Seoul, the DMZ, an overnight ferry trip from Busan to Osaka, Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), onsen, etc., etc. Tons of fall colors, ono food, castles, saki, soju and a lot more await. Can’t wait.

For quick party food I picked up several Sub Way sandwiches and as a promo, the food order included the carrier pictured here. With four exterior drink holders (big enough for a fifth of Scotch, too) and …
At the crack of noon (we’re on holiday), Monday, July 13, it was a quick trip from Karlsruhe back to Kandel to pick up our charges, Delaney and Brett, and head to France. Destination for the next four days would be Nancy in France’s Alsace Lorraine region, with a short stop-off to see the cathedral …
It’s been a busy 9 days of touring.
